Installing this mod will not stop you from playing Deus Ex normally. Installing will create a shortcut that will start The Nameless Mod. You use that to play TNM, starting Deus Ex regularly will give you the unaltered Deus Ex that you know and love.

I’d like to know verdicts from outsiders: if they didn’t start at that forum in-joke “lame idea” and put in the same amount of effort, would TNM be a better/more enjoyable game?

Two things: crawling in the vent behind the desk at the hotel(?) where you start gets you shot by police.

And: when you log into a computer, as well as email there’s an ‘apps’ button. Click on it, and you can play Breakout, Tetris, and IRC Client. Click on IRC Client (and then tell Zonealarm that tnm.exe is friendly) and you connect to the game’s IRC channel, from within the game interface..! Awesome.

Releasing mods so late that no-one can find their copy of the game anymore = cruelty

It doesn’t always work properly. It has worked one of the last three times I used it.

If it works this time that is still only 50% reliability.

As I recall, when I needed to replace my copy of Deus Ex it cost 50 cents (US currency.) Of course shipping was $3.49 so it came out to about $4. The price appears to have gone up since then, with a new copy of the game costing 99 cents on Amazon with shipping at an outrageously high $3.99. That means it costs 16.6% of every penny you have.

Of course given the way Amazon Merchants work it could cost several times that by the time anyone reads this.

$15/10€, actually.

Considering I a) already own a copy and b) have a grand total of $30/20€ to my name right now, $15/10€ is far too much for something I already own.

A second copy of Deux Ex is not worth 50% of every penny I have.

Yes I agree, someone give Jonas a job!

I wouldn’t say $10/£5.99 is “far too much to pay for” Deus Ex, even now.
